Online shopping with RBS Secure

Using your RBS Credit Card online is now easier, quicker and more secure. When making purchases online you will no longer need to enter a security code. Online payments will be authorised instantly whilst continuing to provide you with all the security and protection features that we know are important to you. RBS Secure helps to keep your card safe and makes sure only genuine cardholders can spend in the online environment.

Using RBS Secure when you shop

Occasionally you may still be required to verify your identity by answering personal security questions before we can authorise your payments. These questions should be easier to remember for our customers as there is no setup or registration required. This is an extra precaution in keeping you safe online.

It’s as simple as that.

Our internet guarantee

It’s a horrible feeling – you discover a transaction has been carried out on the internet without your knowledge or consent. But there’s no need to worry as the new RBS Secure system will vastly reduce the risk of these instances taking place. Your online payments will continue to be authorised instantly, whilst still providing all the security features you have come to expect from us.

If you would like further information about how we help to keep you secure online, please read the security frequently asked questions.

Be Card Smart Online

Financial Fraud Action UK (FFA), recommend you follow this simple advice when shopping online:

  • Keep your PC protected – you should use the latest browser and up to date anti-virus software
  • Look for the padlock – a padlock symbol displayed in your browser window means your information will be handled securely
  • Always log out after shopping online and remember to save the purchase confirmation email
